All-Star Families,

This year elementary students throughout our district will continue to use two digital resources to enhance their learning: Dreambox for math and Lexia for reading. The goal is for students to spend approximately 60 minutes a week in each resource with the goal of completing 5+ lessons in Dreambox and 10+ units in Lexia. Each week we will celebrate selected students who meet these goals as well as any classrooms where 70% of students meet the goal. Look for earner names in our Adams Start Newsletter starting next week! Dreambox and Lexia can be accessed at home using the directions below:

Go to Clever from the district webpage or go to:

Our Spokane School Board has set a goal of 9.0 months of growth a year in each platform. Last year our Lexia data demonstrated that our students made an average of 10.5 months growth in ELA. Our Dreambox data showed that our All-Stars made an average of 6.2 months of growth in math. Dreambox and Lexia are two tools we use to support students and measure academic growth. The strong classroom instruction students experience every day in our core curricula (Bridges Mathematics, Really Great Reading, and Wit and Wisdom) matters most.

Happy reading and happy “mathing.” Thanks for sharing your greatest gift with us…your child.

Beth Nye

Adams Principal

PurposeFull People

Our Character Strong SEL (social emotional learning) curriculum helps students build skills in three areas: Be Kind, Be Strong, Be Well. In November students will Be Well and focus on Gratitude. Gratitude is choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives. Students will participate in classroom lessons and practice gratitude throughout the month.
